Install my coilovers

Looking for someone to install front KW coilovers on my 07 xi sedan. Rears are done but we gave up on the front when we couldn't get the brake calipers off.

Shop recommendations would help also.

Why were you trying to take the brake calipers off?

I was going by the ecs install video, and the dude recommended taking the brake caliper and rotor off. The reason being that I would have less weight to wrestle with when removing the stock suspension.

Pics coming soon

That doesn't make sense but ok. You need a jack under it to get it to seat anyway.

The ECS video does suggest you remove the front brake rotor to make it easier to move the shock housing out of the wheel well but I think that's more applicable if you have a BBK

Just to follow up my post.

Dave installed my coilovers this past Sunday at Meineke in Gardner MA. He's a great guy and provided great service. He installed my coils, adjusted the height, threw on spacers, my summer tires, and alignment in approximately 3 1/2 hrs with no problems. I recommend him if you're looking to get your coilovers installed, especially if you're in western MA and/or not looking to break the bank.

To see my pics check out this thread:
